famous, hi. i'm sure you get ideas for new cookies all the time. but i-- is it oatmeal with no raisins? i'm sorry i've wasted your time. comedy central >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? i'm trevor noah, and this is "the daily social distancing show." today is thursday, may 13, and maybe my favorite day of the year because the c.d.c. c. has just announced that fully vaccinated people no longer need distance, baby. i'm so happy. i'm happy the c.d.c. has finally come out with some clear, simple guidelines about when vaccinated people can wear masks. now i can say to my friends, "come over and hang out," instead of, "come over and hang out, as long as we're from no more than two different households and at least three of us are vaccinated, and also we're just on zoom." this is way better, so thank you

so much to the c.d.c. because now-- ( phone rings ) ah, shit, now my friends want to come hang out. anyway, on tonight's show: we'll talk about how getting vaccinated can make you a millionaire, getting followers on instagram can send you to prison, and getting an email can cause a gas shortage around the country. so let's do this, people! welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> announcer: from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily social distancing show," with trevor noah. >> trevor: let's kick things off with elon musk, founder of tesla and "man who's definitely shouted the phrase 'eliminate him!'" he's best known for embracing the most futuristic technology, but now he's moved from crashing self-driving cars to crashing bitcoin. >> one of bitcoin's most famous promoters has just turned on the cryptocurrency, elon musk

tweeting earlier this hour, "you cannot buy tesla with bitcoin anymore due to the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining and transactions." cryptocurrency has long had a huge carbon footprint. >> bitcoin plunging on the news here, falling 10%. >> trevor: that's right, people. from now on, people will no longer be able to say "i bought my tesla with bitcoin," so now they'll have to find a new way to be unlikable at parties. but it is shocking to hear this coming from elon musk. because he has been the guy promoting bit coin. he says the reason he's doing this is because of environmental concerns. but part of me thinks he lost his bitcoin password. i mean, maybe he wrote it down on a post-it note somewhere, or on his kid's birth certificate. but this really goes to show you that bitcoin doesn't work as a currency.

because most established currency don't go up and down based on a random social media post. imagine trying to pay a dollar for a candy bar, and the cashier is like, "whoa, buddy, that stuff's worthless now. didn't you see khloe kardashian's latest selfie?" yeah. oh, buddy!" let's move on to the coronavirus vaccine. it's the reason you now have specific opinions about pharmaceutical companies. authorities all over the world have been trying out different ways of enticing people to get vaccinated. today in new york city, shake shack announced that it will give free french fries to anyone who shows their vaccination card. and because you're vaccinated, it's safe to suck the ketchup straight out of the dispenser again! which is really cool? you're not supposed to do that? and free fries are nice, but ohio has come up with a gimmick that blows everything else away. >> ohio is offering its residents a shot at winning $1 million, along with their covid vaccine shots. governor mike dewine announced

that beginning may 26, the state will draw one vaccine recipient to win $1 million. this will happen every week for five weeks. >> well, governor, you're probably getting an "a" for creativity, but you're getting an "f" for huh? is this the right thing to do? and you're getting bipartisan criticism on both sides. >> i know there will be some people who say, "well, that's a waste." no one has tried this, and we just thought that it was worth to try this to do it. >> trevor: now, this idea is awesome. i support it 100%, and i know some people will say, "but isn't helping to save humanity enough of an incentive to get vaccinated?" to which i say, hell, no. have you seen humanity? its full of jerks who will only get vaccinated if there's money in it for them! i mean, forget vaccines. i think the government should use this for every public health measure.

if public bathrooms pumped out a lottery ticket when you washed your hands, you'd be able to eat off those doorknobs, as opposed to now, when you have to open the bathroom door with your elbows, like you never evolved hands. but, hopefully, this convinces some anti-vaxxers to get the shot. the only awkward part is if they actually win, they have to explain how they got rich to their other anti-vax friends. "dudz, it's not what you think. i'm into human trafficking. dale, i swear." so, look, i support doing whatever it takes to get people vaccinated. but you have too admit this is the epitome of a first-world problem. "how can we convince people to take all the extra vaccines we have lying around?" "hm, what if we give them some of the extra money we have lying around?" meanwhile, africa is over here like, "ah, yes, well done. you cracked it. you cracked it." and, by the way, the best part

about this is you don't have to worry about holding onto a ticket. if you win, they'll just find you using the microchip in your bloodstream. and, finally, instagram: twitter for hot people. these days, there is so much content on instagram, it's harder than ever to get noticed. it's not enough to just copy a dance from a black kid anymore. white girls are scouring whole new ethnic groups to steal from. it is out of control. and now, one would-be influencer is in trouble for a viral stunt that she couldn't quite pull off. >> and the "miami herald" reports a 28-year-old woman allegedly posed as a high school student to promote her instagram page. police say audrey francisquini tried to blend in with students at the miami area school monday. they say she had a backpack, and she carried a skateboard as she walked through the hallways handing out pamphlets printed with her instagram account while recording herself. security officers tried to catch her, but she got away. they later tracked her down through her instagram page and arrested her.

she faces charges including burglary and resisting arrest. >> trevor: no, people, no, no, no. a woman posed as a teenager on instagram and she thought she could get away with it by carrying a backpack and a skateboard? that's like the official uniform of old people trying to pretend they're teens! when narcs get kicked off the force, they have to hand over their gun, badge, and skateboard. it's a thing. this must have been so embarrassing for this woman. and also for matt gaetz when he found out he was hitting on a 28-year-old. that's not his swag! and the saddest thing is after all that work she did and all that drama, she didn't even end up with a cool story for the 'gram. or did she? but, guys, i wish people would realize that your worth as a human being is not defined by how many followers you have or how popular you are on the internet. what really matters is that you're a good person who is kind to other people and lives with integrity.

man, i gotta post that. that's going to get so many likes. that's dope. but let's move on to our main story-- gasoline. it is an integral part of modern civilization. we use it to drive our cars, to fly our planes, and to destroy our planets. but thanks to a hack on a major pipeline this week, america has been going through withdrawal. >> the effects of the russia-based ransomware attack are being felt up and down the east coast, in what some homeland security officials are calling in a new bulletin, "the most devastating ransomware attack on critical infrastructure in the u.s. to date. >> a new report says colonial pipeline company paid nearly $5 million in ransom to hackers. operations at the colonial pipeline are now back online. but the ordeal isn't over yet. overnight, people driving from station to station just looking for gas. >> how many gas stations have you been to? >> eight!

>> this is my sixth. everything is out of gas. >> people were coming in and loading-- trying to buy, you knw, five and ten cans' worth of gasoline and hoarding it. >> in richmond, virginia, this man filling up water bottles with extra gas. and in north carolina, a fight breaking out in line for the pumps. >> the f.b.i. identified the group responsible for the attack as darkside, a gang of hackers based in russia in a brazen scheme to extort money. >> according to reuters, darkside posted a statement monday, saying it, quote, never meant to create havoc, and our goal is to make money and not create problems for society. >> trevor: wow, these hackers caused so much damage, they felt like they had to apologize. z

town is dead everybody, but maybe next time, don't have back pain." but the crazy thing is that there wouldn't even have been a gas shortage if people hadn't panicked and started hoarding because they thought there would be a shortage. and, guys, please use your heads. you don't need to rush out and buy something just because you think it might be in short supply. always remember to take a moment, breathe, and realize you can always rob your neighbor later if shit gets hard. and while i'm giving advice: obviously, filling water bottles with gasoline is a stupid idea, because now you've got bottles of gas next to your bottles of water. then what's going to happen? if you're not careful, you might accidentally end up drinking dasani. now, thankfully, it's looking like america will soon be back to burning as much fossil fuel as it wants. the bigger problem is that america's vulnerability to ransomware is here to stay.

the question is, though, what is ransomware? and why is it so hard to stop? well, let's find out in another episode of: "if you don't know, now you know." >> trevor: ransomware: it sounds like a fashion line for casual, yet elegant kidnappers. but it's actually a big problem that's only getting worse. >> ransomware is a cyber attack in which hackers threaten to shut down networks or publish private information unless paid a ransom. the department of homeland security estimates a 300% increase in such attacks in the past year alone, with a cost of more than $350 million in ransoms. >> ransomware encrypts a computer network's data to hold it hostage, and then will only give the digital decryption key to unlock it for a price. >> the average payment climbed from a few thousand dollars in 2018 to more than $230,000.

>> desperate to recover their data, some businesses have paid as much as $935,000 in ransom. >> they demand a ransom, usually in bitcoin, a largely untraceable digital currency. >> ransomware has become such a frequent occurrence, 40% of companies in the u.k. with over 250 employees are now stockpiling bitcoin in the event of an attack. >> trevor: oh, man, this is terrible. these hackers aren't just forcing people to pay money. they're forcing them to learn about bitcoin. that's the real crime. but at the same time it makes sense. if your company gets hacked, then you're prepared, and if you don't get hacked, you can always give bitcoin to your employees as christmas gifts. "happy holidays, everyone. go buy a hitman off the dark web. yay!" but, yes, much like matcha flavoring, ransomware attacks went from something you never really heard of to being basically everywhere.

which makes sense, because as the world gets more online, there are more and more targets to choose from. and it's not helping that it's also really cheap and easy to pull these scams off. >> ransomware incidents usually start innocently enough-- maybe an interesting special promotion offer or an email disguised as coming from your boss. but once you click on the link or download the file, it can kick off a debilitating attack. >> the barriers to entry to create ransomware are really low. >> hackers advertised do-it-yourself ransomware kits on the dark web. >> it's an incredibly detailed guide that enables you to customize every aspect of the ransomware without ever really having to write any code yourself. >> today, almost anyone can get their hands on ransomware technology. ransomware can be purchased on the deep web for as little as $39. >> trevor: okay, whoa, whoa. that's crazy to me. you can buy ransomware for just $39? that's like nothing! to be fair, though, that's probably the version that has ads, right.

like, you can shut down america's energy infrastructure, but every 10 minutes, you have to watch that stupid limu emu commercial. what the hell is that? i'm not going to buy insurance from an emu, okay? i'm goiong to buy it from a gecko! i'm sophisticated like that. by the way, am i the only one it ruins the drama of a ransomware attack when you find out that they're mostly just tricking someone inside the company into giving access, because we think hacking is the computer equivalent of tom cruise breaking into a building with diamond cutters and coming down from the ceiling on wires and dodging the lasers, you know. in reality, it's actually more like tom cruise just telling a security guard, "hey, i'm here to fix the toilet," and the guard waving him in. and the reason this works so well is that people will click on anything. i mean, have you seen the links at the bottom of news articles? "you'll never believe what the house from 'malcolm in the middle' looks like today." i mean, i've never even seen that show, but i've read the article eight times. and one of the most messed up things about these crimes is who

tends to be the victims. it's not usually rich corporations, because they can afford the latest cybersecurity and the best i.t. guys. you know, i'm talking about the ones with the shortest short-sleeve buttondowns, the ones that barely make it past the shoulders. so because these companies are harder to strike, instead, the hackers squeeze ramson out of the places that already can least afford it. >> for years ransomware attacks have targeted retailers, hospitals, police departments, utilities, state and local governments, their data held hostage until they pay up. >> cash-strapped municipalities are uniquely vulnerable to this kind of ransomware attack, because they're using older systems, they don't keep them updated, and they don't have the resources to be able to respond. >> today, 26% of cities and counties say they fend off an attack on their networks every hour. >> cyber crooks know governments and hospitals are likely to pay because they can't afford not to. >> there was nothing that we could do to unlock those files. >> the best option for us, even

though it was the last and worst option for us, was to pay the ransom. >> trevor: shame, man. i can't believe hackers are stooping so low as to demand ransom from police departments. it's disgusting. they need that money for their brutality settlements, you monsters! and, of course, a hospital has no other choice but to pay. i mean, if hackers shut down your operating room in the middle of a surgery, what're you going to do? send the patient home with only one of their butt implants put in? no, their cheeks will be uneven! so hackers are using ransomware to cripple hospitals, police departments, utility companies, and local governments. and as a society, it's going to be chaos if all of those things crash-- i mean, except for the hospitals. i don't need those. when it's my time, it's my time, and i'm ready. unless it's my appendix, then i need a hospital. i mean for major shit, you know what i mean? so you'd think because it's so

major, that the federal government would step in and make sure this can't happen. the problem is there's not much the federal government can do. >> this chaos left in the wake of the colonial pipeline ransomware attack has heightened concerns about american cybersecurity. the energy grid and water supply have almost no federally mandated cybersecurity protections. >> the federal government depends on private companies improving their cyber hygiene to avoid ransomware attacks. >> 85% of american critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector. >> the government has very little visibility on whether these private corporations have good cybersecurity or bad cybersecurity. >> one of the issues is with private companies. they are not required to disclose cyberattacks. >> that really hinders the ability for law enforcement and the government to make an informed decision and develop the best policy options they have to try to counter this attack. >> no country is more connected technologically than the u.s. and that makes you more vulnerable to this kind of stuff. i mean, really, the only solution is to turn the switch off, right.

i mean, disconnect yourself from the internet. >> trevor: yeah, disconnecting from the internet doesn't sound so hard. all you have to do is subscribe to spectrum. no, but for real, though, the i get that it's difficult for the government to regulate private companies, but the solution to ransomware can't be to put the entire country into airplane mode. no one even does that on airplanes. unfortunately, as of right now, there's not another solution that seems workable. so, until there is, americans might need to stop panic-buying gasoline, and start panic-buying bitcoin. and if you don't know, now you know. all right, when we come back, i'll be talking to a pollster about how vaccine hesitancy can be changed just by language. you don't want to miss it.

daily social distancing show." my first guest is frank luntz, a top pollster who's here to talk about how you can convince people to do the right thing if you just say it in the right way. frank luntz, welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> this is such a privilege. i want you to know that i'm actually right here in oxford, england. this is not just social distance. i am 5,000 miles away from you, at least. but i feel safe, and i feel secure, as long as we can keep it a continent apart. >> trevor: i feel like you went a little bit too far because the c.d.c. announced if you are vaccinated you can be in the same space. i'm happy that you feel safe. that's all that matters, right? >> well-- damn it. i didn't know this was going to happen. i got up and got as far away as i could. >> trevor: the reason i wanted

to have you on the show is because from the very first time i engaged in american politics, i found you to be one of the most interesting people in it, because you showed me how americans and american politics are oftentimes influenced more by how people perceive the message than by the actual policy itself. and it has been no different in and around vaccines. you've been conducting polls showing how you can get people who don't want to take vaccines, are against vaccines, are vaccine hesitant or trump supporters, republicans-- whatever-- to actually go, "no, you know, what? i will take the vaccine." what have you found is the best way to get somebody to take the vaccine when a few weeks or days ago they said, "you know what, i will never get it"? >> it's simple. talk to your doctor. talk to your pharmacist. they know you. they know your history. they know what you're about. they know how to influence you, and you trust them. number two is to remind people, tell them that their own doctor got the vaccine.

if majority of doctors are vaccinated-- i learned from this tom frieden from the c.d.c.-- if 90% of doctors have vaccinated, what do they know that we don't? that's the second thing. the third is if you won't do it for yourself, do it for your friends, do it for your family, do it for the people you love. in the end we need both sides to be vaccinated, you and the people you come in contact with. and we know young women are most likely to motivate young women. we know the black and brown communities are most likely to be motivated by the people who come from the black and brown communities. same thing for trump voters. and, by the way, all three of those groups-- they don't agree on much-- but all three of those groups do agree that if they hear it from a professional, if they hear it from someone who they trust, they're much more likely to believe it. but they're hesitant about whether or not they're going to get vaccinated. >> trevor: the world of polling is really interesting to me, especially in the way you do it, because, you know, you don't just ask people what they will

or won't do. you then probe those answers. you know, so, where most pollsters will say, "will you vote for trump or will you vote for biden?" you go, "okay, will you vote for trump yes-no. what if i told you this. what if i told you that or what if it was said like this?" you oftentimes in your polling show how much people's preconceived notions or biases affect how they end up making a decision. that has been-- i don't think it's ever been more apparent than it is in america now. the republican party is a good example of that. the par party party's in chaos d disarray. you have the group of 30 or so republicans saying we're threatening to break off and start a new party because the message of an election stolen is something we don't like. as a pollster, what have you found in the republican party? which side is actuallynmore connected to their voters? >> it's the reason why i wanted to get out of america. i'm with some of my students here at oxford right now. it... i'll answer your question.

those who are with donald trump more closely reflect the republican party. those who are against donald trump, more closely reflect america. so if you're trying to win a primary, you want to be with donald trump. if you're trying to win the general election, trump is going to sink you. >> trevor: wow. >> yeah. i mean, and it really is that graphic. the g.o.p. absolutely believes that the election was stolen, absolutely believes that donald trump should be president, and they're going to fight for him. the independents and democrats believe exactly the opposite. so, frankly, i don't know how you win a g.o.p. primary without the support of donald trump. i don't know how you win an election with his support. >> trevor: wow. that's a crazy conundrum and a space to be in, in politics. and i wonder, if we take a step out of that, let's take a step out of the republican party and apply some of these lenses to

america, joe biden won i think it was 8% fewer hispanic votes than i think it was, you know, barack obama or hillary clinton. i stand to be corrected. but people were shocked by this. and people were shocked at how hispanic voters aren't maybe as liberal as maybe-- as progressive as people previously thought, especially in and around issues of immigration. have you seen messaging that resonates and hurts people or helps them in certain ways? >> absolutely. i'll give you a great example. the american people desperately want something done. they want solutions. they want results. and they're tired of this fight back and forth. and immigration is a great example. they want a safe and secure border. but they believe in the dream act. they believe that kids who were brought to this country through no fault of their own have the right to earn citizenship. and, trevor, that's the we word. nobody wants to just give people something. they want them to earn it. the fact is the left does not

want to hear from the right. the right does not want to hear from the left. we've never had a better opportunity to hear what people have to say, and we've never been less willing to listen than we are right now. there's a lot of anger, a lot of frustration, a lot of division. and the sense of writing people off, or writing ideas off. my job is to reflect accurately where the american people think, where they're passionate about things, what they're afraid of, and what they desperately believe. and if i can present that accurately, along with language that will help people communicate, then just maybe-- i'm not sure of this anymore, but just maybe we can make our democracy work. at least we've got to try. >> trevor: well, on that hopeful and yet also distonian note, i want to say thank you very much for joining me on the show. good luck out there in oxford. you can come back now. and if i bump into you in a space and you're vaccinated and i am vaccinated i will be able to greet you without wearing a

mask. travel safe, look after yourself as a human being, and hopefully i'll see you again in the future, sir. >> you got it, thanks. >> trevor: all right, when we come back, the incredibly talented actress thuso mbedu will be joining me on the show. the show. so don't go awa - hi sabrina! - hi jen! hi. so you're the scientist here. i just have to ask. does my aveeno® daily moisturizer really make my dry skin healthier in one day? - it's true jen. - really?! this nourishing prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin. - one day? - for real! wow! aveeno®. healthy. it's our nature.™ and for twice the moisture, try the prebiotic oat body wash, too. i gotta say i'm still impressed. very impressed. ♪ ♪ for those who love peanut butter and those who want to get married to peanut butter. i now pronounce you, weird. new ultimate. it's here.

daily social distancing show." my next guest is actress thuso mbedu, who stars in a new television series that takes place in a world where the underground railroad was an actual underground railroad. we talked about that and what it is like to be the first south african actress to lead an american television series. >> why are you looking at me like that? >> like what? >> you gazed upon me most strangely, miss cora. >> you're pretty like that, you know, when you smile? ( laughs ) i mean, pretty anyway, but, boy, when you smile like that! ( laughter ) >> miss cora. >> hmmm? >> trevor: thuso mbedu, welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> hi, trevor. how are you? >> trevor: i am fantastic!

because i'm speaking to somebody who is not just from my home country, but somebody who has also moved to america and making a name for themselves. i'm less happy for your success and more happy i have somebody to share south african stories with and eat south african food. that's really what i'm excited about. congratulations, first of all, on not just making it into the industry but making it in such a big way. what has that journey been like? and please tell me, how on earth did this happen for you? >> i don't even know where to start. but i heard of the "the underground railroad" in november 2018. i was in new york for the international emmy awards, and i did the first audition then. and i sort of just forgot about it, because i didn't think anything about it. i thought this is my first international audition. i don't have the accent right. it's just like go there, do your best. and i came to l.a. in 2019, and i was able to make it into a room with francine mazla, the casting director for

"underground railroad." at the end of that night i got a call from my manager telling me it was a call-back and barry wanted to meet me the next day. >> trevor: barry jenkins. >> barry jenkins! and i'm like, first of all, how-- i don't even know. i was emotionally, mentally, like just, yeah. so i met barry the next day. at the end of it, he actually looked at me and he said, "you are the character. i'm not saying you've got the role, but..." >> trevor: wow! >> and in those two weeks between meeting barry and the test shoot, i read the book twice in preparation for that. i was like, you know, what? i want to do this, but i don't know if i have it in me to serve the character as authentically as she needs to be served but i'll just do my best and the rest is up to barry. >> trevor: so what makes the story so difficult to tell is you're talking about one of the most painful periods in american history, and that is slavery. when you're playing this character, it must have felt

strange and yet familiar to be an african woman playing a story about africans who are displaced and put into america. what was that journey like for you in building and creating that character? >> so, for me, most importantly, i realized very early on that i had a lot of unlearning to do in order to learn the truth. and the fact that what i knew about the enslaved body in america was shaped by media and a very white male gaze. so that served a particular agenda. so i had to throw all of that away and completely, you know, be open to new information. barry sent me stuff to read. he sent me audio tapes to listen to, audio tapes of former enslaved people. >> trevor: wow. >> and when i heard them, like, the sound and how they spoke that something in me really shifted. because here i was listening to people who were 75 years old, you know, 90 years old. but they sound 16. and the english that they speak is broken. it made sense because they were

being taught english for instruction and not english for conversation. >> trevor: right, right. >> and what struck me is that the broken english that they spoke is an english if you went to south africa today or parts of africa, that's how people in the rural areas or in the townships speak today. >> trevor: right. >> so when that hit, it stopped being an african american story and became a story about africans in america. and so it hit much closer to home for me. >> trevor: what was the hardest thing for you to do in playing the character and trying to tell that story as authentically as possible? >> you know, i think the hardest thing to do was actually outside the role of the character, which was keeping a balance and, you know, being aware of who thuso is and who the character was. because it's very easy to take on what the character is feeling and have it bleed into your everyday life, especially -- >> yeah. >> especially when what's

happening in the story is still very relevant to what is happening today. and the character is shaped by this huge sense of loss, rejection, abandonment. and she kind of has to fight to get what she wants, which is ultimately her freedom. and, you know, being a black woman, being a black body in the world today, i'm not even going to say just america, those are the sme type of struggles that we see, you know. it happens to be in a different time. so i had to be very, very self-aware and, uh-uh. when you're feeling this way, that's the residue of the character and not you. >> trevor: wow. >> yeah, but otherwise, on set, i always felt protected. i completely trusted barry. when he pushed me, i knew it was because he knew i was capable of doing it. >> trevor: you are now pushing yourself to explore new horizons in the u.s. i mean, you already are lining up projects, and one of the most exciting that we've seen is you are going to be teaming up with none other than viola davis

herself. tell me a little bit about that and how that came about and what you're going to be doing in that. >> in the very first audition, i was already working with the direct, it was a whole working session stretching me. but then she did something to me. at the end of it, she says, "good luck." and i said, "no! you can't say 'good luck' because now i imagine going to an interview and they say 'good luck with all your other interviews '." "no. i want you to be my good luck." >> trevor: right, right, right. >> yeah. and then i think a few days later, we had a meeting and i got a chance to meet viola, and i absolutely loved it because from the interviews i've seen of her, her process is my process, and i was like, i'm going to learn a lot from her if i get to work with her. and then eventually, we were able to do the test shoot. and then ta-da! we're shooting it in south africa. it's going to be awesome!
